Today we are going to discuss about osmosis.
00:04
Osmosis is a phenomenon by which two liquid compartments, which are separated by a semi -permeable membrane, seize the flow of solvent from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.
00:31
The process of osmosis does not require the input of energy.
00:36
As it takes along the concentration gradient.
00:43
In the given cell that is present in the glucose solution, there is 40 % of water in the cell.
00:59
However, there is 20 % of glucose in the solution which makes 80 % of water exterior to the cell.
01:17
The presence of concentration gradient across the cell membrane makes the osmosis inevitable in that situation.
01:28
The process of osmosis will take place from outside the cell to inside.
01:38
However, even though there is a concentration gradient of glucose, it will not diffuse.
01:45
As glucose particles are fairly large for diffusion across the cell membrane.
01:53
As the water will move from outside the cell to its inside, the cell will swell up.
02:01
The solution in which the cell is present has 20 % of glucose, whereas that in the cell is 60%, which is higher than the outset of the cell, which makes the solution hypotonic.
02:22
In this diagram, the concentration of starch and glucose makes up to 70%.
02:32
Therefore, water in the cell is 30%...
